It was a normal day at Toronto Pearson Airport until things went very wrong.
An Air Canada Boeing 737 MAX was trying to park when it clipped the wings of two other company planes, according to a video shared on social media. The footage shows the large jet attempting to squeeze into a tight spot that simply wasn’t big enough.
“The MAX’s wings are wider than most planes that use those gates,” one airport worker told Aviation Week Today. “It didn’t look like it would fit from the start.”

The video was first posted by the X account Breaking Aviation News and Video. The post said that one of the planes, an Air Canada A321 registered as C-FGKN, hasn’t flown since Saturday, October 11, which likely means that’s when the accident happened.
So far, Air Canada hasn’t commented on the incident, and it’s unclear how much damage was done. The airline has also not said whether anyone was on board at the time.
Transport Canada, the country’s aviation safety agency, has not confirmed if it’s investigating.
This isn’t the only recent ground collision involving major airlines. Just days ago, two Delta Air Lines jets hit each other while taxiing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. One of the planes lost part of its wing, and a crew member was hurt.
Aviation safety expert Mark Delaney told Aviation Daily that ground collisions are becoming more common. “Airports are crowded, schedules are tight, and one small mistake can cost millions,” he said.
The Boeing 737 MAX has had a rough history. The model was grounded worldwide in 2019 after two deadly crashes. While this new incident isn’t related to flight safety, it’s still a bad look for both Boeing and Air Canada.
“This is not a plane problem—it’s a parking problem,” Delaney said. “But it’s another headline Boeing didn’t need.”
For now, the video continues to spread online as Air Canada faces questions about how a routine parking job turned into a viral embarrassment.
